Scientist J. Craig Venter has been able to burn his genes into a CD, which took 15 years and $5 billion. This type of breakthrough would cost individuals about $500,000.
With individuals’ genomes available to them, doctors are expected to be able to prevent and treat many diseases better. Already, genetic tests can determine if some women are more prone to breast cancer than others.
Hey, would you like to have your DNA decoded into a CD? Well, for $500,000 I wouldn’t! But, if it was at a reasonable price, then why not? It would help in the prevention of diseases in me wouldn’t it? Sure why not, I’ll burn a Johnboy5501 EXCLUSIVE DNA CD!
